Game Changer is an American game show produced by CollegeHumor for their streaming service Dropout. Hosted by Sam Reich, each episode consists of typically 3 players that begin each round without knowing the rules of the game and must figure them out while competing to win. Save for sequel episodes, each episode is a different format from the prior episodes, with many taking inspiration from other game shows such as Survivor, Jeopardy!, or The Bachelor. The popularity of certain episode formats have lead to 3 spin-off series: Dirty Laundry, Make Some Noise, and Play It By Ear.[1]
